Release information

In Japan, this card was released as part of a special expansion sheet available at the 7th Next Generation World Hobby Fair, held in December 1997. It was later reprinted as one of a selection of cards included in the Pokémon Song Best Collection CD, released on January 1, 1999. The English version of the card was released through Nintendo Power Magazine in April 2000, with Magic: The Gathering illustrator Christopher Rush providing the artwork to replace the original Japanese artwork by Ken Sugimori. It was later reprinted in Legendary Collection, which was released outside of Japan. The English print was also released in Japan as a promotional card, awarded to passengers for completing the silver course of the JR Pokémon Stamp Rally in August 2000.

Trivia

The artwork change between the English and Japanese prints may have arisen due to the similarity of the Japanese artwork of this card to that of the first promo Mewtwo, as both are modified from Sugimori's Generation I stock art.

As the Japanese version of this card was distributed as part of an expansion sheet, it, along with Pikachu and Mew are often regarded as unofficial additions to the Vending Machine cards collection, dubbed "Series 00".
